Baby Bumps!

I have failed miserably at taking weekly, monthly, whatever baby bump pictures. If you know me, you know that everything has to have an order to it so obviously it drives me crazy that these are all so random! Here it is, my ever growing baby bump:

1 week (or so they tell me). Obviously I had no idea.

 9 weeks

15 weeks

 18 weeks

 23 weeks

26 weeks

30 weeks

 

As of tomorrow, I am officially 32 weeks.  Only 8 more weeks until we get to meet Baby Girl Moody!  

Baby Shower Time!

My baby shower was Sunday.  My mom and I may be the worst ever at getting invitations to events out to people in a timely manner.  The last of the invites were mailed on Thursday.  I won't even mention that the first set of invites were only mailed on Monday.  Seriously, who gives people less than one weeks notice for things like this?? 

I am not one for big over the top things.  I prefer to be low key and keep people out of my business.  So, the fact that my mom and aunts, Aaron's mom and aunt, sprinkled with a few other important people were the extent of my shower, made me very happy and took away the anxiety of having to make small talk with people I don't know. 

I have taken care of a LOT of babies in my nannying days so I am not clueless when it comes to babies and the things they need and how to care for them but when it comes to registering for necessary items your own baby needs, where do you even start?  We have a crib, we have a changing table, we have about 5 strollers (don't even ask), car seat: check, bedding, tons of clothes, more shoes than any human being could ever need.  So what is left?  Diapers and wipes obviously, but what else?  I had no clue what to tell these people I needed! 

Now that it is said and done I have a ridiculous list in my head of things I need to go buy to prepare for this child.  Where was this list weeks ago???  What are some things you guys couldn't have lived without when you had your babies? 

I guess someone needed new kicks...

Nothing irritates me more than people stealing from others.  I don't mind helping people out but do not take what doesn't belong to you.

I logged into my bank account this morning just like I do every morning to make sure the number I have in my head is the exact amount actually in my checking account.  Sure enough, it says I have $600 in my business account however, only $34.15  is available for use!  Umm..say what?  I haven't purchased a thing for business or personal use since yesterday when I checked on my money!

Upon further investigation there is a charge for $395 to finishline.com.   Sure, I could use new running shoes BUT I sure did not spend a dime at the place today.  And $395?  Are they serious?  How many pairs of Nikes did you need today?

I immediately called my bank.  As they are telling me how to go about recooperating my money I scroll down just a bit to see if there are any other charges I did not make.  Apparently the culprit also needed a Match.com account. 

So, to anyone perusing match.com profiles today, if you come across someone with a love for fresh kicks:  BEWARE!

Oh, how life has changed.

If you had asked me 2 years ago where I thought I would be in life right this second, I wouldn't have ever suggested anything even close to what my life has become.

Eighteen months ago I met an awesome guy who really wanted to put up with my shit.  No matter how much I fought it. 

Seven months later, he gave me this pretty ring, to be followed four months later with a wedding.  Yes, I  married this guy 11 months TO THE DAY that I met him. 

I exchanged my 20 something roommate for a  newer model 7 year old step daughter who teaches me way more than I could ever teach her.  And they tell me as of January 29th there will be 3 girls covering our house in glitter and tutus rather than just the two of us who live there now.

Clearly this is a far cry from what I, or anyone who has ever known me, would have expected but I love it and I wouldn't change it for anything!
